Since I'm in the blizzard spirit, here's a throwback to me braving Disney's Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom.
The forecast is showing more bitter cold. Let’s swap snow drifts for ocean waves and icy roads for soft, white sand! #AdventuresWithMichele #PackHappyTravel
Next year, this will be the view. Next year, this is where you’ll make the memories. 🎄📸Leave the planning to me 🎁#Adventureswithmichele #disneyholidays #grandfloridian #grandfloridiangingerbreadhouse #disneytree #disneychristmas
I sure am in my “Holiday Feels” as I am exploring the parks at Walt Disney World with my Grandson this week. There truly is no more special place to bond with family. I’d love to help create a trip for your family that will capture that same magic - at any time of year. From Premier Pass, to Park Hopping, Parties, and beyond, I dedicate my time and my own funds to make sure I know how to best advise everyone I work with. No two trips are ever the same, nor should they be! Let’s make it happen for 2025!#adventureswithmichele #firstdisneytrip #disneyvacation #disneyplanning #disneytips
❄️🐻❄️Happy Holidays from Animal Kingdom! This is always one of my favorite parks but during the holidays, it is extra magical! They have such unique festive decor, and these puppets so adorable and engaging, I almost refuse to accept that they aren’t alive! You can see the Merry Menagerie on Discovery Island through the holidays!Also, new this year - a chance to meet Santa at the Dino Institute Holiday Party! Of course Mickey and Minnie are the hosts with the most - don’t miss seeing them in their festive finest at Adventurers Outpost.\#animalkingdompark #merrymenagerie #holidaysatdisney #adventureswithmichele
I experienced an Austrian Heuriger, and it was a blast... amazing wine, delicious food, fun music, and the friendliest people! It’s all about Gemütlichkeit, that warm, joyful vibe of belonging and pure cheerfulness Austrians do so well.🇦🇹🍷🍇🥨#PackHappyTravel #adventureswithmichele
Vienna’s Christmas Markets are pure holiday magic! There’s nothing quite like a European Christmas Market to get you in the festive spirit… with so much to see, taste, and smell, it’s an unforgettable holiday experience. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Vienna Christmas Market already open, as they typically don’t start until later in November! #AdventuresWithMichele #PackHappyTravel
You wouldn’t believe how good they smell, but once you know, you won’t forget. Each year, the bakers at Walt Disney World top themselves with creative displays at many of the resorts. In fact, this is the 25th year for the gingerbread house at the Grand FloridianResort, the 24th year for the carousel at the Beach Club Resort, and the 13th year for the castle at the Contemporary Resort.But it wouldn’t be fair to leave you drooling after taking in those smells and the impressive beauty - so each resort also sells a variety of gingerbread, and other holiday treats. I never can resist snapping up a couple of things.This is one of my favorite parts of visiting Walt Disney World during the holidays!It’s not too late to get you there this year, nor too early to plan for next!#disneygingerbread #gingerbreadhouse #grandfloridianresort #disneybeachclubresort #contemporaryresort #adventureswithmichele
I’m off to explore the heart of Europe with AmaWaterways, cruising along the Danube River through Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic. I’ll be soaking up the sights, tasting all the goodies, and finding those hidden gems so I can give you the inside scoop for your own trips!

Don’t forget to follow along on social media, where I’ll be sharing stories and updates from my adventures every day! 🇭🇺 🇸🇰 🇦🇹 🇩🇪 🇨🇿 #AmaWaterways #DanubeCruise #AdventuresWithMichele #PackHappyTravel
High on Mount Koya in Wakayama, Okunoin Cemetery offers a spine-tingling experience. My son braved a night tour with a priest, wandering through moonlit paths of this sacred place.
As Japan’s largest and most revered Buddhist site, it holds over 200,000 ancient graves and the mausoleum of Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism.
A quick 5-minute cable car ride transports you to this mystical mountain… a world beyond the ordinary.
Ready to walk these ancient paths next Halloween?🎃
There's something magical about watching the Headless Horseman ride through Liberty Square! 🐴💨 This iconic character, inspired by Washington Irving's classic tale, perfectly captures the spirit of Halloween and the magic of Disney. Every time he charges through, it feels like stepping into a storybook, blending history with a touch of spookiness. Liberty Square has always been my favorite spot to catch this thrilling moment. The colonial architecture provides the perfect backdrop, making it feel like we've traveled back in time to Sleepy Hollow itself!Here's to the enchanting moments like these that make Disney so special. Who else loves this spooky tradition? Share your favorite Headless Horseman memories below! 👇#DisneyMagic #HeadlessHorseman #HalloweenAtDisney #LibertySquare #MagicKingdom #adventureswithmichele
